I'm really getting tired of Dems destroying each other.

Dems can take the moral high road without expecting our candidates to be the Second Coming of Jesus.

Meanwhile on the Republican side:
2 indicted Republicans got re-elected. Gym Jordan got re-elected and his scandal isn't even talked about anymore. Steve King is still in Congress. Kavanaugh lied under Oath and got on the Supreme Court. Traitor Devin Nunes got re-elected. Treason caucus members Ron DeSantis got Florida governor and Matt Gaetz, and Mark Meadows got re-elected. Medicare Fraud Rick Scott got in the Senate. Lynching is cool Cindy-Hyde Smith got elected. Martha McSally lost her election and still got a seat in the Senate. Trump is still in office.

Dems being the good guys is really not working out so well.

If they do it does not make it right for us. If we hold them accountable we HAVE to hold ourselves accountable or we need to stfu when it comes to them.

6. There is a gap the size of the Grand Canyon between KKK robes and the Second Coming.

Sorry. He's had 35 years to make his heartfelt apology. He chose not to do it till he was backed into a corner.

Served more than 50 years in the US Senate. Started out as a KKK member and ended up a Civil Rights Champion.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

1. People change, particularly from young to mature.
2. Who is he today?

And look what happened to Al Franken.

... Aw, isn't it grand that once again some shit-stirrer gets us Democrats to eat our own so they can sit on the sidelines and enjoy the fun?

And a few days ago I read on DU that the probable source for the info leading to Al Franken's downfall was Roger Stone.

And Elizabeth Warren apologizes (again) to the Cherokee Nation that she repeated a family legend (one that millions of us share, by the way) that she heard as a child, and today I hear the Orange Monster's own voice boasting that HE "caught Elizabeth Warren in a Pocahantas trap."

How did we get so fucking stupid? HOW DID WE GET SO FUCKING STUPID?
